Q: Do you prefer to drink tea or coffee?
POSSIBLE ANSWERS:
I prefer tea.
I prefer to drink tea.
I prefer tea to coffee.
I prefer drinking tea to coffee.

Thanks for helping me out! I can't always reply immediately.

To "ravyboom":
The expression needs FOR. You can MISTAKE (somebody) FOR (someone else). I think we usually say this in the simple past, not the present perfect, though. I'd say:

1) I'm sorry. I mistook you for someone else.
2) Sorry. I thought you were someone else.

Hi Jennifer,
I like your English lessons videos. It helps me a lot. Since English is my second language, my English is not so good. I am learning it. Plz tell me whether the answer of the following question is correct or not.

Ques: Do you prefer to drink tea or coffee?
Ans: I prefer to drink tea than coffee.
Ans: I prefer drink tea to coffee.
Because you said "than" is only used to answer would rather type of questions. Plz, reply of this comment.

the second sentence is grammatically correct.

Dear teacher Jennifer,

I am a little confuse on how to deliver this sentence please correct me:

Sorry I mistook you of someone else or

Sorry I have mistaken you for someone else.

you really doing good job it really gonna help a lot

Hi miss jennifer, keep up the good work!

Dear teacher Jennifer , you're great ! Go on this way ! Congratulations !

I wanted you to understand some common uses of the simple present tense:

1. I am a teacher.
2. I like learning about other cultures.
3. I eat lots of sweets.
4. I know I'm not perfect, but I think in general I provide a good speech model, and I try my best to share my own understanding of the English language.

Now your turn!

Do you mean set phrases that use TO BE and TO HAVE in general? Or do you mean within a more specific context? Maybe if you give me examples that create confusion, I can address those to start with.

Dear teacher Jennifer, your explanation is so good, congratulations! but if it's possible to make a graphic in a board about the difference betwwen to be, to have and the other ones verbs will be better for me, I'm so feel by your attention answer.
Sincerously,

Ricardo Ayllon (Portuguese's teacher)

Try this. Make sentences:

1. to state a present fact about yourself
2. to tell me something you like
3. to tell me something you do often
4. to tell me how you feel when you speak
